Ayurveda is the traditional medicine of India, but it's also a way of life, and it's what Sharon Kapp calls the "sister science" of yoga. It focuses — and I'm sure I'm oversimplifying — on balancing out the elements in the body, healing and taking care of oneself.

Sharon presides over the Healing Tree: Houston Yoga & Ayurveda Wellness Center in Cypress. It's a pretty place, tucked back from the road. Birds are singing in the trees, and I think I hear frogs, too.

She looks like any doctor, albeit more serene. In India, she would have that title. But the center looks nothing like that of your primary-care provider.
